Mark, You do realize that this Brazilian Neomarica caerulea is not very hardy? The A-Z Encyclopedia of Cultivated Plants says 50F/10C minimum?!?! That's ridiculous. In Pasadena it has survived temperatures as low as 18F for short periods (overnight). But from what I am hearing on weather reports from your area, I think this would not be a good time to send it to you. What is the normal last frost date for you? My guess is that it would be better to send it to you in May, and by then it would run less risk of freezing in transit. Why don't you send me an email about that time and remind me of my promise. If this won't work for you, please let me know. John C. MacGregor South Pasadena, CA USDA Zone 9 Sunset Zones 21/23
